Paducah Power System General Manager David Clark submitted his resignation to the Board of Directors at the end of Tuesday's board meeting.

PPS Director of Community Relations & Marketing Andrea Underwood said the resignation is immediate.  PPS Director of Engineering, Rick Windhorst was named the interim general manager.

The board also approved the hiring of Dowdy Recruiting to begin the search for a new general manager.  The search is expected to take 120 days.

Last Monday, Chairman of the Paducah Electric Plant Board Ray McLennan resigned and walked out of their meeting. The next day the Paducah City Commission, which oversees the board, demanded an investigation into how the decision was made to invest in the Prairie State Energy Campus, which has not performed as well as expected since it was built.

Paducah Power has had to continue purchasing electricity from outside sources, while also paying their portion of the investment and start-up cost for the plant. This has caused cutomers' electric bills to increase dramatically.
